Title
December 2021 Residential Sustainability Report
Recommended Action Motion
N/A
Body
The ESB will review and discuss the November 2021 Residential Sustainability Report. The data now includes more data and graphs that will demonstrate overall diversion as a result of the new yard trimming program which began July 9, 2018. The report includes greenhouse gas emissions reduced by recycling and composting.
The yard trimming program has been in operation for 3 years and has been working very extremely well by helping the community divert yard trimming materials. As of December 12, 2021, participation includes 4,934 (72%) households. Environmental Services collected 826 tons of material, which is a 26% reduction from last year. The increase in materials seen in 2021 was during the height of the pandemic and can be attributed to residents cleaning their yards, home and garages.
